Zbigniew Brzezinski
WASHINGTON, (JTA) - President-elect Jimmy Car¬ ter's appointment of Zbigniew Brzezinski, Warsaw-born history profes- sor at Columbia-University as national security, advisor at the White House was seen as bringing about a "much more moral foreign policy" by the United States, sea¬ soned Capital observers said.
_ Brzezinski was asked by American Professors for Peace in the Middle East last May 21 how his policy would differ from Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger's in resp'ect to the Arab-Israeli conflict, "I am more' per¬ haps inclined to stress the need to focus on what might constitute ' the basic prin¬ ciples of an eventual settle¬ ment, including the neces¬ sary trade-offs," .Brzezinski replied.

United Nations Moves Against Taking Of Hostages
By Yitzhak Rabi (Copyright. 1978. JTA, Inc.)
UNITED NATIONS, (JTA) - A West German initia- - tiye against the taking of hostages was adopted by con¬ sensus by the General Assembly Dec. 15. The resolu¬ tion called for the establishment of a 35-member ad hoc committee' to draft an international convention for that -purpose. . ;
It did not* mention terrorism. The wording of the resolution represented a compromise reached after a prolonged struggle in the General Assembly's, Legal _ Committee 'where extremist Arab states, led by Libya and Algeria, attempted to sabotage the German initia¬ tive. Libya insisted that the resolution refer only to the taking of "innocent" hostages, implying that'certain hostages, namely Israelis, were not innocent.
The Libyans dropped their demand after it' was agreed that the resolution would not refer to the punishment of persons faking hostages in the country where they are caught or their extradition to. other countries. Israel ^hinted out, in addressing the General Assembly after the consensus, that the ad hoc commit¬ tee would have to deal with the issues of extradition and punishment. The Western powers concurred.
The Assembly also adopted a resolution renewing the mandate of the ad hoc committee on terrorism, es¬ tablished in 1972 at the initiative of Secretary General Kurt Waldheim following the terrorist massacre of Israeli blympic athletes at Munich. The vote was 100-9 with 27 abstentions.
Israel, the U.S. and Britain voted againstthe resolu- *" Hon on grounds that it legitimized certain types of ter¬ rorism. Israel', in fact, had opposed the creation of the ad hoc committee four years ago because the motivat¬ ing resolution at that time upheld the right of liberation movements to pursue their struggle in a way that could be interpreted as an endorsement of terrorist acts for that purpose. The resolution adopted reinforced that view. ' ,

four Anti-Israel Resolutions Adopted By General Assembly
By Yitzhak Rabi
UNITED NATIONS, (JTA) — Four anti-Israel resolutions-were overwhelm¬ ingly adopted by the General Assembly Dec. 16., Three of them condemned Israel's practices. in the occupied Arab territories, its, es¬ tablishment of settlements there ahd its alleged' mis¬ treatment of the Arab popu¬ lation. The fourth demanded that Israel pay compen¬ sation to Syria for its alleged destruction of, the* Golan Heights town of Kuneitra.
Addressing the Assembly before the voting, Israel's ambassador to the UN, Chaim Herzog; charged that . the draft resolutions "obscure the truth instead of highlighting it" and that.
they "only serve to prolong the dispute instead of resolv¬ ing it." , ,
The ■ resolutions were based on, -the report of. the Special Committee , to Investigate Israel's Practices Affectipg Human Rights of- the Population of the. Territories Occupied by Israel. Israel has refused to .recognize or cooperate with. the special committee which consists of Senegal, Yugo¬ slavia and Sri Lanka, countries that have no diplo¬ matic relations with Israel. - The, first, resolution was .adopted by a vote of 129-3 with four abstentions. The negative votes were cast by Israel, the US. and Haiti. It strongly deplored , Israeli measures altering "the
